l'O ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN:

Be it known that I, P. DAVIS, of Newport News, in the county of Warwick, and State of Virginia, have invented a new and improved Letter-Pouch; and I do hereby declare that` the following is n. full, clear.- and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved letter-pouch, and it consists in forming the same with a. Hap, and a. band or aslit to receive the end oi' the Hap. Y

The exteriol` of the pouch is ruled or lined oi nt equal distances apart, and the several spaces are numbeied, and the names of the places or addresses written or printed upon them.

In the accompanying sheet of drawingsl Figures 1 and 2 are side views of my invention, the two sides of the same pouch being shown. f

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parte. l

The pouch A is made, of oblong rectangular form, out of strong paper, well pasted at its bottom and Sider yor where the edges are lapped. One side of the pouch is longer than the other, to admit of a ilap being mudo to fold over the open end of the pouch, and a transverse slit, a; is made in the short side of the pouch to receive the end of the Hap, (see iig. 1.) 1 l Both sides of the pouch are-ruled or linedoi'f, and numbered, and each space has an address printeilfgl'- written upon it, as shown clearly in iig. 2 v

The letters put into the pouch correspond to the addresses on the exterior, and as they are taken fromthe' pouch, (those of each address,) the corresponding address on the exterior is scored out or marked om Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentfis.

A. letter-pouch, having its exterior lined or ruled o, with addresses printed or written thereon, ysubste tially as shown and described.

The above specification of my invention signed hy me, this first day of May, 1868. l
